Hello Master,
I have Whirlpool ET18NK
and I follow the troubleshooting flowchart.

my question
if the compressor is warm to my touch, does that indicate the
start relay is working and the compressor is bad?
if the compressor is running and vibrating, and both fans (evaporator and condensor)
but the fridge is not cold (both top and bottom), the only thing I can think about is the compressor needed to be replaced.

thank you
I am sure that the fridge is bad.
I would like to know for sure whether the start relay is bad or the compressor is bad.
the start relay is an electronic part and there is no refund once purchased.

I want to save money.
so if the compressor is warm, does that indicate the start relay is good?
